I'm a retired Coastie. BMC to be exact. 21 years, then I had to grow up and get a real job.

Thomas is my last name. Plus wife and 6 kids equals x8.
My screen name is a combination of the two things I do most. For recreation I go backpacking as much as I can. My day job is working as a physician assistant. BackpackerPA. If I had job joined the forum a few years ago it would have been SoccerDad.
My name means nothing except the lower case b. That b means I suck at capitalization.
I was in a training class and I guess I said "I'm just spitballing here..." one too many times and they started calling me spitball. Then, I thought that would be a good screen-name on another forum, but it was already taken. Since "spitball2" was pretty lame and copycat sounding, I had to come up with something else. I came up with "jedi" to indicate my super spitballing powers..lol.
Some people just think I use spitballs instead of a light saber, which is fine, too.
Some people misread it and think it says SPIRITball jedi"
My screen name is a pretty lame attempt at combining my two favorite pastimes, which together led me into the magical world of hammock camping.

Well everything i use to register for online sites is trigger, and since i am starting to get into hammock camping it felt natural.
I usually do theRugbyPlatypus, because I used to play rugby and I was once compared to a platypus at one point in my life and it stuck, but I decided to just go with my name for this one, to make it easier I guess
I'm a big guy 6'2" and 375 pounds. My other love is road biking and the big guys (over 200 lbs) are called clydes like the horse.
Pyrrha was the name of my first (and favorite) boxer. I used pyrrha1 as an email address. Signed up for the forum using taptalk, so I guess taptalk chose the name. I'm not exactly tec savvy so I have no clue if or how to change it.
